Alpha 4.1 The Impeding Death Of The Freezing Bug

FREEZE BUG FROZEN
Thanks for sending all those save files. You guys are great!
The bug is confirmed. All the save files had the same bug.
The CivilianAI is looping on a sequence of Equip-Unequip-Equip-Unequip... which are free actions. This cause the game to hang as the actor never ends his turn.
I will work on fixing it. Make the equip/unequip action takes a turn is the wrong solution as it changes the gameplay and just delays the problem over several turns, I need to change the AI code.Again, thank you and no need to send me save games for this bug anymore.

OTHER BUGS REPORT
Feel free to post on the Alpha 4.1 bug page, or mail me and send me saved games if you think you spotted a bug or a glitch.

4.11
The freeze bug is a major and needs fixing asap.
So I'll release 4.11 in a few days with a couple more fixes and a little something as bonus.

SAVE/LOAD TIME?
4.1 was supposed to improve loading and saving time performance.
I'd like to know if the effort paid.
Do your games seem to load faster or not?
